 “1970”, “1975”, “1979” Eisenhower Dollars – Production Blog

All are over-struck on genuine US Mint Eisenhower Dollars (circa 1971-1978), Susan B Anthony Dollars of 1979-1980, or President Dollars of 2007-2020, unless otherwise noted.
Some were broad-struck and/or multiply struck with moderate shift between strikes.

The US Mint produced Eisenhower Dollars from 1971 to 1978. Although Frank Gasparro prepared a galvano model dated "1970", no coins with that date were ever released. And none were issued with "1975" dates because the "1776-1976" Bicentennial coins were minted during the 1975 and 1976 calendar years. 1979 was the first year that the Philadelphia Mint began applying a “P” mint mark to all their coins (except the one-cent pieces). But no Eisenhower Dollars were produced after 1978, and no issued Eisenhower dollars had a faceted rim like the Susan B Anthony Dollar.

During the later years of producing the Eisenhower Dollars, the US Mint contemplated changing them to a smaller size. Ultimately, Susan B Anthony was chosen as the theme for the new small dollars of 1979. There exists a vintage photograph of an apparent small-format 10-sided 1977 Eisenhower Dollar pattern piece. The issued Susan B Anthony dollars had an 11-sided rim. 1979 was the 10^th anniversary of the Apollo 11 Moon Landing, and this was likely the reasoning for the 11-sided rim.

NOTE: These are NOT endorsed by the US Treasury. Defacing of US coins is legal so long as the defacement isn't for fraudulent purposes.
